Thailand Teaching Volunteers

Thailand is just a beautiful country – outstanding natural gorgeousness, impressive architecture, eye-catching temples, lovely, friendly people and just the best Thai food you ever ate and a lot cheaper than over here.

If you are travelling planning start this project in 2011 you’ll spend your time as a volunteer abroad in Thailand in Surin, in the north-east and one of the regions of Thailand that’s becoming very popular with travellers. It’s perfectly placed for exploring the rest of the country, with the northern mountains and the Gulf islands just an overnight bus ride away and the Thai-Cambodia border only a few hours away.

If you are travelling planning start this project in 2012 you will be spending your time as a volunteer in Sangklaburi is in NW Thailand on the border with Myanmar (Burma). Sangklaburi is positioned on a 72 km long manmade lake fed by the numerous local rivers and waterfalls. The town is surrounded by mountains and creates a picturesque landscape, an idyllic location for travellers and volunteers.

There are so many local activities to enjoy from treks in the mountains through to floating down the river on tubes. The local community is a mix of Thai, Hill Tribe and Burmese people; this diversity is seen in the local dress, food and customs. Due to the local poverty and hill tribe and Burmese people are considered stateless, there is a great need for volunteers. The town itself benefits from many local restaurants, internet cafes, mini markets and one bar! It is a great setting to enjoy the best of Thailand; its people and its natural beauty.
